I've generally seen it clockwise, but I've been able to get it to go counterclockwise a couple times. I'm really quite skeptical of the right-brain/left-brain thing they say this indicates.
I default to clockwise, but can inconsistently make her seem widdershins as well through careful mental focus and the slow reveal from the bottom method. Perceiving two of her going in opposing directions at he same time defeats me.
-As for which orientation the direction of spin is judged from, I always look from the top down, whichever end is judged to be 'up.'(which can cause interesting mirroring effects in US vs. Australian physics instruction according to one professor I had, as their nearest pole (the 'up' pole) is opposite to ours and the direction of positive spin (turning toward the sun) is also subsequently opposite). Did any Australians answer this question with outliers?

Writer: "hey, check out this awesome animation! we should put this on our website!"
Editor: "we print news, not art. make up some text and you've got yourself an article."
i haven't yet been able to find attribution for the writer of the text or (more importantly, maybe there's more stuff like it!) the artist.
